nm. I thought you were being sarcastic in your previous post. (If I would have made the same statement I would have been)
so i'm no longer sarcastic, but stupid? ^^ Hey, more power to you if your rigs are stable. But it just seems like an unnecessary potential point of failure. |

What an interesting set of statements. I guess it's good to know your thoughts on the matter.
Your reasons are left undeclared. What a shame.
The majority of users here disagree with you, in case you were wondering why you have such a large piss-stain of an Ignore button. Therefore you have a much higher probability of being WRONG, and need to seriously reconsider your failed position on pretty much everything. Either that or go play in the road. |

That makes me worry of scratching the bare die. I'd consider maybe a nylon spudger though .
silicon is 7 in the mohs hardness scale steel varies according to its quality from 4 to 6.5 you'll have a hard time scratching it unless you actually hammer the die with the tool also there is going to be a paste between the scrapper and the die, although you may scratch it if you don't clean it first and there are sand particles present but that would happen with a nylon spudger too Yeah but the actual packaging isn't silicon is it? The logic gates inside consist of silicon, but the die packaging/heat spreader is some kind of shiny metal. |

+1 one of those, and some flextube to run it out the window and you're good. If still it's too hot, I'd get 2 and enclose the whole batch in their own box, with intake & outtake. (or the air conditioning if outside temps are hot) Ahaha, besides the fact that it uses 165 watts which is the same as 2 singles   |

How about Goetz's bullseyes and Cow tails? EDIT: Also, Fox's Mints and/or Uncle Joe's Mint Balls, although I doubt it since they are rare.

I am going to frank:
Your artwork and designs depress me. They make me feel like I am staring at old flyers advertising 50% off diapers at Walmart, in a waiting area behind the restrooms.
Suddenly, a large obese woman with a Walmart vest walks by with toilet paper on her shoe and a sagging scowl on her face. You can see her old, worn-out panties rising up over her shirt from the back.
That's how your designs make me feel. I can only hope my honest perspective motivates you to create better work.
All you really had to say was "I HATE PASTEL COLORS MAKE THEM VIVID" and they might have given your post some consideration. But the undue and insulting criticism was completely uncalled for and unnecessary. |

I think the system works as it is now.
GPU is the most common mining HW.
I don't want to see any FPGA junk in this section.
Keep the GPU in main and FPGA in subsection for now ...
There are times i could slap you in your face all day long... Whatever. For you FPGA makes sense. For me ( and other people with low electricity ) this FPGA business is a total waste of time. Only thing new it brings is low power costs NOT radical speed improvement like jump from CPU to GPU. In summary, not everybody thinks it is the "next big thing" and not everybody needs to hear about it 24/7. If I could get dedicated FPGA rigs that used the same amount of power as GPUs, I would choose them even if they have ~no resale value. My time is valuable, and I can't waste time tinkering with unstable GPU rigs, and FPGA completely remove the reliability from the equation. Plug them in, turn them on, hash like a mother. |

Nice update. They show the easyminer software, but it doesn't appear to be available for download yet. Wonder when that will happen. |

So you wish to completely and absolutely remove all innovation by having no dev team. What happens if a security flaw is found, who will fix it?
Seriously, you haven't thought through the shit you are spewing, and you need to do a lot more thinking before poking the new thread/post button, because what you are proposing is nothing more than absurd.
Please show me where I said there should be no dev teams. You wish to have "no authority over Bitcoin's protocol". If no one has this, then what is the point of having a dev team? And if you have a dev team, what is to stop them from making protocol changes? If a protocol change is needed, the majority of miners will accept it. No authority needed. Nobody knows best but Bitcoin's main supporters; not Gavin, not you but the users and the people that directly serve their transactions. That's the way it already is, what makes you think that it isn't that way? If Gavin submitted a patch to create deflation by changing the block reward to 0 within the next 3 blocks, how many miners do you think would "upgrade"? None, obviously. A more subtle patch could find its way forced in by bribery and through Gavin's singular influence. Deepbit could all ignite massive support by bandwagon. Changes need to take more consideration to be passed. Not a chance. All changes are extremely open and public, and it would be impossible to "slip something by". If you cared, you would follow the commit changes, because even if you can't code, it is still relatively easy to figure out what change has been made by reading the diffs. Not only that, but hundreds of users do follow the commits, and would raise all kinds of hell in the event of something odd happening. |

Everything is needed 'right now' which is why paypal and credit cards are so successful. People don't want to wait for payment to clear or have to wait around a few hours/days for their coins. I still think if you can buy bitcoins within 24 hours that's pretty fast considering the years I spent buying/selling LR and Pecunix and having to wait forever for wires to clear
Not only that, but some users may never have had to worry about a wire or any such thing, and have never known anything other than PayPal's "instant" transfers. They would then be expecting the same thing. |

The loyalty in this thread concerns me.
In essence, I'm scared of one person having influence over Bitcoin's protocol. I trust nobody and neither should you. Bitcoin is a powerful technology and if anything will kill it, corruption will.
Good luck with that, I want to see your version of the client, security holes and all. Can't improve it yourself? Then stfu. |

(although, give it a year or two, I'll get what I want rsn).
By that time GPUs will be the new CPUs and nobody will give a flying fuck. |

Actually I think they are the PFB or FFB series - they have some stationary curved blades as part of the fan housing to direct the air into a vortex (presumably), and the actual moving blades are some of the most extreme pitch I have ever seen. They are rated for 2.25 amps at 12 volts. I already ordered some as per DeathAndTaxes recommendation. Good to hear another +1 for it. |

You had the opportunity to test the beta before it went live and help him fix any issues. Last I saw, only mila was actively poking the beta and finding bugs.

I guess convenience within the status quo system isn't cheap nor do I think it should be. It's pretty much the same fee as Bit-Pay charges. |

Maximumpc lololol.... If you want a good paste just get the Prolimatech PK-1, it's cheap, spreads easily, and performs probably the best. I liked the testing methodology, regardless of who tested it. PK-1 scored well, but I would probably go for the Shin-Etsu compound first, if I couldn't get TX-4 (which I already did). |

I never said you will have problems. If you keep it off any traces you are fine. If you don't well you blew up a $400 GPU for no good reason.
Back when the choice was AS or that white goop which comes in $0.99 packs it might have been worth the risk. Now that there are two dozen high quality NON CAPACATIVE ceramic based compounds the risk seems unwarranted.
When installing waterblocks I have found about half of all GPU have excess thermal compound on the traces. If it was AS5 they would all be dead.
Still your right it you are flawless in laying it down and never make a mistake, never put too much on, never allow any to fall on the traces then it will work fine.
Pretty much. That's why I went to pk-1 mostly. I can just blob on whatever I want and not have to worry about carefully spreading it, etc... Lazy mode + better performance = win. :p There's so many better pastes than AS5 to choose from now it's not even funny. http://skinneelabs.com/2011-thermal-paste-review-comparison/2/http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coolers/display/thermal-interface-roundup-1_12.html#sect0Here this is what I had been looking at: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/geek_tested_17_thermal_pastes_faceExcept I read it in the actual mag. |
